NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Condorcet Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is a classic example of the appellation's renowned power and finesse.The nose reveals aromas of ripe dark cherries, blueberries and plums, intertwined with smoky, spicy notes of tobacco, dried herbs, and earth. On the palate, the wine is a full-bodied and robust, yet elegant, with flavors of blackberries, cherries, licorice, and hints of white pepper and graphite that linger on the very long finish. It is a wine that will age gracefully for many years to come.

ORIGINS
Winery: Condorcet
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
